We scan the physical part with a 3D scanner, our design office builds a CAD model from the scan, and based on that we manufacture a new part in our machine park. We can verify the dimensions with the same scanner.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details><summary><h3 class=\"nw-h3\">Can you recreate a spare part without a drawing or 3D model?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"ei-faq-odp\"><p>It is enough to bring or photograph the part itself, even if worn \u2014 without a drawing or 3D model. For a quote, send photos with a reference dimension and any documentation you have. We will scan the part at our plant at Elektronowa 6 or at your site. We will verify whether a specific part can be recreated when preparing the quote.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details><summary><h3 class=\"nw-h3\">Do you scan at the client&#8217;s site?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"ei-faq-odp\"><p>Yes. The Scantech NimbleTrack-C Gen2 scanner is portable and wireless, so we can scan the part at your site \u2014 even if it is large or mounted in a machine. The range of a single tracker is 3.5 m. We agree on the date and conditions for on-site scanning when preparing the quote.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details><summary><h3 class=\"nw-h3\">Will the new part fit just like the original?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"ei-faq-odp\"><p>The accuracy of the Scantech NimbleTrack-C Gen2 scanner (up to 0.020 mm) is a parameter of the measuring device, not the tolerance of the manufactured part. Manufacturing tolerances for the new part are agreed and confirmed at the quote stage.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details><summary><h3 class=\"nw-h3\">How does 3D laser scanning of a part work?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"ei-faq-odp\"><p>The handheld Scantech NimbleTrack-C Gen2 3D laser scanner projects blue laser lines onto the part and captures a point cloud from them. We scan without reference markers on the surface. We export the result to formats such as STL and IGES, and our design office builds a CAD model from it.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details><summary><h3 class=\"nw-h3\">How accurate is the Scantech NimbleTrack 3D scanner?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"ei-faq-odp\"><p>This handheld scanner has an accuracy of up to 0.020 mm, the entire system (scanner and tracker) up to 0.025 mm, and hole position accuracy is 0.050 mm. For larger parts, accuracy also depends on their size and distance from the tracker. We scan without sticking markers onto the part.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details><summary><h3 class=\"nw-h3\">How much do 3D scanning and reverse engineering cost?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"ei-faq-odp\"><p>The price of 3D scanning and reverse engineering depends on the job \u2014 we do not publish fixed rates or a price list. We quote each order individually based on photos of the part and the documentation you have; if that is not enough, we will ask you to deliver the part. The price depends on the material, shape complexity, quantity, manufacturing method for the new part, and lead time.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details><summary><h3 class=\"nw-h3\">What files do you accept for a quote?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"ei-faq-odp\"><p>We accept PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, photos (JPG, PNG, TIFF), and ZIP and 7Z archives. If you have no documentation at all, the part itself is enough.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"ei-us-powiazane\" class=\"ei-sekcja nw-sekcja\">\n<div class=\"ei-wrap nw-kol\">\n<div class=\"ei-wstep\"><h2 class=\"nw-h2\" id=\"ei-us-powiazane\">Related services<\/h2><\/div>\n<ul class=\"ei-powiazane\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecad.com.pl\/en\/design-office\/\">Design office<\/a><p>Siemens NX and Solid Edge \u2014 designing new structures.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecad.com.pl\/en\/3d-quality-inspection\/\">3D quality inspection<\/a><p>Scantech NimbleTrack scanner, granite surface plate, Mitutoyo height gauge.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecad.com.pl\/en\/news\/reverse-engineering-what-is-it\/\">Guide: reverse engineering<\/a><p>What happens to the scan, what the design engineer decides, and when recreating a part pays off.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecad.com.pl\/en\/metal-parts-production\/\">Full-service production<\/a><p>Cutting, bending, machining, welding, and inspection in a single plant.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"ei-cta-tyt\" class=\"ei-pas-ciemny ei-ramka nw-sekcja\" data-nw-end=\"\">\n<div class=\"ei-wrap ei-pas-ciemny-in nw-kol\">\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"nw-h2\" id=\"ei-cta-tyt\">Have a part to recreate?<\/h2>\n<p>Bring it to our plant at Elektronowa 6 or send photos with a reference dimension first.
